Sorry Lindsay Lohan, Serena wins this round of best quotation of Maya Angelou.

Kids aren't born like this. You make them like this.

:0 I didn’t know that about his daughter. There has to be some German word for that level or irony tinged with sadness tinged with wtf.

He was a partner in the Houston office of my law firm prior to running for Congress. Despite being largely conservative and Republican, everyone in the office (and the firm, generally) loathed him, so much so that to this day, no one wants to use his former office. It’s considered tainted.

Ok, this may be hokey, but looking at Amy Schumer’s photo really did make me feel empowered and beautiful. My body doesn’t look so different from her body there, but when I’ve seen her in clothes she’s always seemed really beautiful, which makes me feel like all those mornings I’ve spent staring at myself thinking I…

Yea, follow your doc’s/OB’s orders to the letter. No lifting or any of that unless it’s been specifically ok’ed. Don’t be impatient thinking you’re superhuman.

Apropos of nothing, I prefer “‘cause” to “‘cos.”

This really goes to show that you’re either pro-choice, or you’re pro-illegal/unsafe abortion. I read that somewhere (possibly from another Jezebel commenter) and it has stuck with me ever since.

That is a beautiful piece of fabric that you have chosen to show, indeed, as are all fabrics. I salute you. Muslin, Jute, Chintzianity, Silkh, Buddcloth, even Satin worshipping, are all part of a broader cloth.

She’s in the right business.

Tom - The vote was apparently 22-1 with the Russian delegate being required to abstain (according to a NYTimes article I read). Didn’t see who voted against suspension though. Do you know?

The Sentient Cloud of Dorito Dust (I want to join in on the fun) is going all in. I shudder to think how his volatile followers are going to react now.

I feel like my parents walked this line pretty well, but i still ended up with a shit ton of insecurity and issues related to body dysmorphia and my appearance, in general. I’m not sure even the most well thought out parenting plan of attack on this subject can really subvert what society and the media are just gonna…

Indeed. It’s like, take the wind out of the dyfunctional looks obsessed culture, where people are literally often acting 100% insane about aesthetic minutae.

They can be taught that yes, looks are a thing, it exists, but everyone’s beauty fades quicker than they want it to, so maybe teach them that finding fulfillment…

I don’t have kids, but I’d say your wife is on the right track. Learning to exercise and be fit for good health will benefit her most in the long-run (like, we’re talking life-long, not just so she’ll be popular in school). If you think that what your wife says about being healthy isn’t sinking in or she isn’t being…

I have to deal with this issue all the time. My child* is extremely handsome and I tell him this every day. But I sense he is becoming arrogant from the prideful expression on his face. And some say he is spoiled since I let him jump on the table all the time.

I'm fine with people telling their kids they're beautiful as long as it's not just the girls getting this treatment. Kids definitely notice when the girls are largely complimented with "pretty" or "nice" while boys are complimented with "smart" or "brave".

Call all kids beautiful so that the word ceases to mean what it once did, and grows to mean something more akin to “YOU MATTER AND HAVE WORTH”.

I was looking for the gif when marla is singing at the bar but this one is sooo much better
